Te Mata 2016 Showcase Tasting

The very exciting new Coleraine...Elston... Bullnose & Co...
One night at Lunn Ave & one night at Constellation Drive with Toby Buck (the Prince Harry of the Te Mata family!)

NZ’s most important annual tasting is spearheaded by yet another outstanding Coleraine from the 2016 vintage, the 4th straight excellent vintage for Hawke’s Bay. Returning after rave reviews last year, Toby Buck will host an evening both sides of the bridge. Toby has recently returned to the family business after a career in publishing in NZ and the UK. He was the 2014 winner of the prestigious BNZ Katherine Mansfield short story award and his penchant for story-telling and boyish charm will make the wines go down even smoother!

Our panel enjoyed a private tasting with the Buck family some weeks back and were again impressed with the level of quality across the board. You can expect to see excellent critics scores emerging in the next couple of weeks, but these special release nights are the time for you to taste for yourself before committing to acquiring these great wines… and to secure your Coleraine in particular, as with insatiable export and domestic demand, it sells out very quickly these days - we look forward to seeing you there!
